Yep. Grew up with my grandfather working on small engines (read:lawnmowers, either push or driven) and one of things he would do when doing maintenance on them was to sharpen the blades with an angle grinder. Mades mowing a lot easier and generally looks more uniform as well. The other thing was that it almost always is the carb if the engine has issues.

It’s better for the grass too.
Absolutely! I had no idea until I mowed after that.
Just make sure they’re balanced before putting them back on!
